[Noisebridge-discuss] rant: youtube as documentation (hijacked thread was: Re: "Half-rap" music and "Grabbing a record")

[Michael Shiloh]

I hate this growing trend of using Youtube instead of written 
instructions. Never mind that I don't like using Flash (at all, and 
especially not on Linux), the real problem is that my brain doesn't 
process information at the same speed as the video shows, and I'd rather 
have written words and/or pictures in front of me that I can browse as 
slowly or as rapidly as I wish, and can go back and forth, and even open 
in multiple windows so that I can see different steps at the same time.

There is something else that bothers me about it that I can't quite put 
my finger on.

Nothing against Martin, of course, at all.

By the way, I'm very happy to know that Vari-fi can be done on Audacity. 
I'll look for a written howto guide...
